Incoming everything from Finland

[FinnBadger]

Carina sent me a homemade envelope from an old magazine.

Finland/Suomi has some amazing stamps. They seem to come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Eva posted about a set of 'love' stamps that I really like, as an example.

Carina used the Tom of Finland (I wouldn't google this if you are using a work computer!) stamps on this one (Finland's best-selling stamps ever, apparently), plus a very cool little 30c stamp that almost looks like a random sticker you might find on a piece of fruit. Neat.

On the back is this great image of a momma chipmunk tidying up her offspring.

And a fantastic artistamp.

And inside some of her digital art, where she alters old images in provocative ways. I still haven't figured out what I think about it - every time I look at it I sense something different. And I still am not sure what's on the little person's waist. Rabbit head? Sash gone awry?

In this cool package Carina also included her entry for Bad Mail Art - Misadventures.

Thank you so much!

Now I see that it is a rabbit falling - I have only been able to see it as a person, with maybe a belt around the waist.

Thanks Kat :)

"Suomi" is issuing wild postage these days!

I think that's a stamp, not a fruit sticker, Phillip :-)

Carina sent mail art with this geometric shaped stamp from Finland, too:

Fantastic!

Thank you so much for your kind words, FinnBadger! I have also received a package from you last Friday, thank you! Not sure what my ps altered card means, perhaps an attempt to escape reality. There is a descending rabbit (angel?) in the picture, but may well be mistaken for a person :D
